WARNING

CAUTION

Do not use the charger to charge batteries other than those speci-

fied here. The supplied battery charger is for use only with the

type of battery supplied with the camera. Using the charger to

charge conventional batteries or other types of rechargeable

batteries can cause the battery to leak fluid, overheat or burst.

Do not cover or wrap the camera or the AC power adapter in a cloth

or blanket. This can cause heat to build up and distort the cas-

ing or cause a fire.

When you are cleaning the camera or you do not plan to use the

camera for an extended period, remove the battery and disconnect

and unplug the AC power adapter. Failure to do so can cause a

fire or electric shock.

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only

in the hard case. When storing the battery, keep it in the hard case.

When discarding, cover the battery terminals with insulation tape.

Contact with other metallic objects or batteries could cause

the battery to ignite or burst.

Using a flash too close to a person’s eyes may temporarily affect the

eyesight. Take particular care when photographing infants and

young children.

When a memory card is removed, the card could come out of the slot

too quickly. Use your finger to hold it and gently release the card.

Injury could result to those struck by the ejected card.

Request regular internal testing and cleaning for your camera.

Build-up of dust in your camera can cause a fire or electric

shock. Contact your FUJIFILM dealer to request internal clean-

ing every two years. Please note that this service is not free

of charge.

Keep memory cards out of the reach of small children. Because

memory cards are small, they can be swallowed by children.

Be sure to store memory cards out of the reach of small chil-

dren. If a child swallows a memory card, seek medical atten-

tion or call an emergency number.

CAUTION

Remove your fingers from the flash window before the flash fires.

• Do not expose to water.

• Keep the terminals clean.

• The battery and camera body may become

warm to the touch after extended use. This

is normal.

Do not attempt to recharge a fully charged

battery. The battery does not however need

to be fully discharged before charging.

Li-ion Batteries

Read this section if your camera uses a

rechargeable Li-ion battery.

The battery may be warm to the touch imme-

diately after charging or use. This is normal.

The battery is not charged at shipment.

Charge the battery before use. Keep the bat-

tery in its case when not in use.

AA Alkalline/Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries

Read this section if your camera uses AA

alkaline or rechargeable AA Ni-MH bat-

teries. Information on compatible battery

types may be found elsewhere in the camera

manual.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the battery can be

recharged about 300 times. A noticeable de-

crease in the length of time the battery will

hold a charge indicates that it has reached

the end of its service life and should be re-

placed.

■ Notes on the Battery

The battery gradually loses its charge when

not in use. Charge the battery one or two

days before use.

■ Cautions: Handling the Batteries

• Do not expose to water, flame, or heat, or

store in warm or humid conditions.

• Do not transport or store with metal objects

such as necklaces or hairpins.

• Do not disassemble or modify the batteries

or battery casing.

• Do not subject to strong physical shocks.

• Do not use batteries that are leaking, de-

formed, or discolored.

Battery life can be extended by turning the

camera off when not in use.

■ Storage

Performance may be impaired if the battery is

left unused for extended periods when fully

charged. Run the battery flat before storing it.

Battery capacity decreases at low tempera-

tures; a depleted battery may not function at

when cold. Keep a fully charged spare bat-

tery in a warm place and exchange as nec-

essary, or keep the battery in your pocket or

other warm place and insert it in the camera

only when shooting. Do not place the bat-

tery in direct contact with hand warmers or

other heating devices.

If the camera will not be used for an extended

period, remove the battery and store it in a

dry place with an ambient temperature of

from +15 °C to +25 °C (+59 °F to +77 °F). Do

not store in locations exposed to extremes of

temperature.

• Keep out of reach of infants and small chil-

dren.

• Insert in the correct orientation.

The camera draws a small amount of current

even when off. Ni-MH batteries that have

been left in the camera for an extended pe-

riod may be drawn down to the point that

they no longer hold a charge. Battery perfor-

mance may also drop if the batteries are run

down in a device such as a flashlight. Use the

PDISCHARGE option in the camera setup

menu to discharge Ni-MH batteries. Batter-

ies that no longer hold a charge even after

repeatedly being discharged and recharged

have reached the end of their service life and

must be replaced.

If the batteries leak, clean the battery

compartment thoroughly before in-

serting new batteries.

If fluid from the battery comes into

contact with skin or clothing, flush

the affected area with water. If fluid

enters your eyes, immediately flush the

affected area with water and seek

medical attention. Do not rub your eyes.

Failure to observe this precaution could

result in permanent visual impairment.

Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a bat-

tery charger (sold separately). Batteries may

become warm to the touch after charging.

Refer to the instructions provided with the

charger for more information. Use the char-

ger with compatible batteries only.

Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their charge

when not in use.
